Pfft - Think LSx.

Don't hate on the 3.8 I see grand nationals running 10's all day long and never being any louder than your average mustang, on the other hand our little 4 bangers have to make so much noise you can wake a graveyard just giving it enough pedal to make some power.

Beat me to it. I grew up a couple of miles from Beech Bend, where the hold the all Buick weekend. When the 'Nationals come into town, most of the "faster" cars went into hiding.

I believe they have a tdo4 stock

Inside looks pretty descent

@ the Genesis Coupe being the next supra like sports car. Just isn't going to happen

All aluminum 3.8L Lamba engine is nothing comparaple nor anywhere close to the 2JZ-GTE.

I agree but, its also too early to say anything.

seams pretty nice to me.... crazy how fast someone has built it this much already! Do you know what they tuned it with?

I work for a Hyundai dealership and i'm hoping that we get a coupe at some point. We can't even sell the 1 sedan we have so who knows if we'll see another Genesis.

From the photos and specs it seems like a good car. But the new V6 Camero is apparently a better car for less money, at least that's what Car and Driver says.

Thats a motor that should have been in the 2G Tiburon in the first place, instead Tiburon fans got a 170hp V6 that's slower than the Sonata family car LOL

Specs? What turbo? What'd they do to the motor?

I was looking on genesisforums.com or something like that and after putting a new 3in exhaust and upping the boost to 18psi on the 2.0t they only gained like 19whp over stock. They said that the problem basically comes down to the turbo being too small. Looks like it's gonna cost lots of money to make it fast, which is very disappointing.

not really though, its basically setup like a dsm, comes with a crappy turbo. That 2.0t can take quite the abuse, supposedly its stronger than the current EvoX motor.

imo its gonna be a RWD version of either the DSM or SRT4. Cheap and plentiful, can take a beating. So what, you swap out the turbo and add fuel, same thing we do now, except itll be on a car thats new, and its RWD.

I was actually impressed with the interior considering the price.

hell it looks fun and gonna have to agree with thomas91169

If that's true then that's truly impressive. That 4b11 is an engineering masterpiece. I am seriously considering a Genesis with the 2.0T to replace my Focus - I saw one at the dealership yesterday and it is an absolutely beautiful car.

Exactly... just wait until FP starts making a 16G-like upgrade. We'll see some attitudes change I'm sure.

About time hyundai makes a car that is going to be worth owning and a fun little ride. :hellyeah:

Well, they both are 4B11s, but the EVO X IIRC has a semi-closed block or braced cyclinders or both. Vs the Genesis which has an open block. So I think the EVO X is a little stronger. AMS was looking into seeing if it was possible to bolt a EVO X directly into the GC. They did say however that all the R&D going into the EVO X will transfer over to the GC quite nicely.

Exactly - we've already talked about the differences between the blocks, and that the EVO X block looks to be stronger. But the fact that the Genesis block looks to be almost identical to the Lancer Ralliart block means that a lot of the EVO X development will trickle down to the Genesis... which is what makes the car very interesting. I think it's going to be very popular.

The Evo 4b11 block will surely find it's way into the Genesis, similarly to how 6bolts found their way into 2g's.

turbo addict · May 20, 2009

Looks more like the 350z or 370z to me. Not bad platform but nothing crazy. How long has the 350z been out and very few of them are doing anything crazy. If they were going to copy a sports car, not that a FR is a bad layout but would be way cooler to copy the good old MR2

ps. yaI know that its based off the 4door. so dont say it.

If the Genesis block is proven to be weak when it comes to high boost, I will agree. But I think it has a good chance of being strong enough to handle decent power on its own. And I'm betting strengthening the block will likely be cheaper than doing a swap for quite a while, if in fact, strength turns out to be an issue.

I just bought a 2.0t GT, coundn't be happier, on the other hand my talon hasn't seen the raod in 2 years, unfortunatly i have to drop another motor which will be done by the end of august :thumb:

If I got a new Genesis, I fear I would NEVER finish the Talon.
